2-5.Misorientation
In wafers cut intentionally “off orientation”, the angle between the projection of the normal vector to the wafers
surface onto a {0001} plane and the projection on that plane of the nearest <11-20> direction.

5-5-1 Choice of Polytype for Devices As discussed in Section 4, 4H- and 6H-SiC are the far superior forms of semiconductor device quality SiC commercially available in mass-produced wafer form. Therefore, only 4H- and 6H-SiC device processing methods will be explicitly considered in the rest [...]
3-11. Particles Particles have the appearance of eyes and if present are usually concentrated at the wafer edges and not within the speci ed area. If present, count once per occurrence.Two particles within 200 microns count as one.
2-3.Wafer Flat Length Linear dimension of the at measured with ANSI certied digital calipers on a sample of one wafer per ingot.
2-17.Polytypes Many compound materials exhibit polymorphism, that is they can exist in different structures called polymorphs. Silicon carbide (SiC) is unique in this regard as more than 250 polymorphs of silicon carbide had been identified by 2006,with some of them having a lattice constant as [...]
2-4.Wafer Surface Orientation Denotes the orientation of the surface of a wafer with respect to a crystallographic plane within the lattice structure. In wafers cut intentionally “off orientation”, the direction of cut is parallel to the primary at, away from the secondary at. Measured with [...]
2-11.Edge Chips Any edge anomalies (including wafer saw exit marks) in excess of 1.0 mm in either radial depth or width. As viewed under diffuse illumination, edge chips are determined as unintentionally missing material from the edge of the wafer.
